Music Alumna Corey Cotter Linforth (BA 2013) returned as a guest lecturer in MUSIC 254, the Baroque era. She offered insight on singing early music. Corey is currently a music director at a church and is a member of several vocal ensembles.
Jane Ramseyer Miller (BA 1985) was a special guest at Grebel for four days as part of the “Grebel Sings” initiative. She was a guest in several classes, and offered choral clinics to the UW Chamber Choir and Grand Philharmonic Choir, and inspired high school students from Rockway and United Mennonite Educational Institute in a choral day.
This summer, Music Professor Mark Vuorinen was appointed Artistic Director for the prestigious Elora Festival and the Elora Festival Singers. He is also Artistic Director of the Grand Philharmonic Choir.

Stephanie Kramer and Catherine Robertson recently celebrated 20 years of service to the Grebel Music Department. In addition to her performing career and vocal coach positions, Stephanie is the Vocal Techniques Ensemble Director, Studio Coordinator, and Music Living-Learning Coordinator at Grebel. Pianist, chamber musician, singer, teacher, and coach Catherine Robertson teaches piano and piano literature courses at Grebel, and served as conductor of the Chapel Choir for several years.
Both of these women have gone above and beyond their roles in the Music Department, generously sharing their musical passion and technical expertise. Countless students and alumni have been impacted by Stephanie and Catherine’s careful instruction, and several noted that their university experience was entirely shaped by the duo’s teaching.
Thank you, Stephanie and Catherine!
